Well-being based budgeting is our latest innovation in well-being economics whereby the well-being ROI (returns on investment) of capital and operating budgets can be determined thereby allowing decision makers to measure and verify the well-being value for taxes and budgets.

Adopting the integrated five-capital Genuine Wealth accounting and measurement tools, we have developed a unique analysis protocol that allows individual investors, impact investment fund managers and others to measure and verify the well-being impacts of their investments in various asset classes.

Mark Anielski discovered over 30 years ago that the word well-being is at the heart of most of the words used in economics and business.

The word 'wealth' originates from the Middle English (13th Century) word wela-th which literally means 'the conditions of well-being.'

The Greek word for happiness (eudaimonia) meaning 'well-being of spirit or soul'.

Combined these important two words with the original Greek root word for economy (oikos-nomia), meaning 'household stewardship' you have the foundation of what we call

the economics of well-being.

We bring a unique and practical approach to measuring progress and success using a model Mark developed called Genuine Wealth. In plain language, the basis of orienting our lives towards a good life means measuring performance and progress in terms of conditions of well-being of mind, body, spirit and the natural environment.

Our work adopts the best attributes of conventional accounting and economic analysis through the science of well-being lenses thereby helping decision makers make sense of a complex array of statistics and data presented in creative formats. This empowers decision makers to better understand the interrelationships between the many factors that contribute to the overall well-being of communities and societies.

We help you stay focused on measuring what matters most to the well-being of households, businesses and communities. In short, as Robert Kennedy once said in 1968, we measure the things that make life worthwhile.

“Mark's well-being impact analysis skills helped our organization to measure the well-being impacts and customer satisfaction of our affordable housing program serving over 9,000 Edmontonians. Well-being has now become a measurable impact tied directly to our mission statement to improve the well-being of children and families in our communities though a continuum of quality housing options, supports, and partnerships. The valuable information gleaned from this exercise informs our programs and processes to better serve our tenants.”

“The Economics of Well Being is one powerful answer to the struggling financial world around us. It very thoughtfully and clearly identifies how our existing debt and wealth measurement systems no longer serve our communities and our ability to live together in a just and balanced society. By broadening and humanizing how we assess our well-being, we shift our attention to aspects of our life together that really matter and are really worth acting upon. This is a great book, gracefully written, founded on doable optimism”

“Mark gives a well-researched view into the absurdity (irrationality) of our economy in an easy-to read style for the non-economist to understand. More importantly, he inspires us all (hopefully) with possibility. Possibility for a better way forward. A 21st century way forward. A happy way forward. This is a conversation that’s worth joining. It needs a strong voice. Here’s the ammunition. Come on Marketing community!”

“An Economy of Well Being is an excellent and timely reminder that the end of the human person is to be in right relations with God, others, and nature. Mark Anielski calls us to radically realign our economics with our anthropology, gives us a toolkit and the metrics to do so, and demonstrates different possible outcomes through concrete case studies.”

“Mark Anielski has been a leading innovator on the cutting edge of well-being studies for three decades, and this work has been about building indicators with communities and populations, not imposing them from multi-laterals on high. His work with indigenous communities is especially rich, and as a New Zealander, I appreciate this refusal to homogenize. I have been recommending Mark’s work to people for decades, and now have another book to suggest."

"Mark is one of those economists who keeps questioning what many accept as fundamental truths. He looks at what happens in the real world and then puts the accepted models to the test to see whether they hold up. By doing that his insights in the way our economy works vastly supersedes those who try to hold reality to fit with the models, an endeavour which is destined to fail. For me, in that regard, he is comparable with Steve Keen, the author of the book 'Debunking Economics'. He is also willing to look at the full picture and is open enough to include the monetary system in that picture, something which is disregarded by too many economists. But apart from his mastery of data interpretation and systemic insight, Mark is amongst that rare breed of economists who manage to connect the hard math of economics with the nature and spirituality of the human race. Humans can not be captured in mathematical formulas and the economy can not exist without human beings. Mark deeply understands that and brings the two together in wonderful ways. We need more economists of this breed if we want to thrive as a human race."
